Fresh off the release of their singles “Born To Fly” featuring Niles Mason and “Don’t Look Back” with Tommie Sunshine, the Disco Fries bring you their take on Avicii’s “Silhouettes”. The new single from Avicii is already a Beatport chart smasher and, with its’ melodically infectious vocals, it’s a no brainer that the ‘Fries were fans of the tune. While keeping some of their favorite elements of the original and inserting their own club stomping drop, the Disco Fries remix of “Silhouettes” is surely a powerhouse track.

Another edition of remix battle and this time its for a song that has been remixed and mashed way way way too much. However, it’s hard to ignore when Avicii‘s “Levels” plays as it’s such a great song and the remixing/mashing it can’t make it much worse, right?

So let’s call this Mashup Monday with a side order of banger remixes, all from Sex Ray Vision. I can’t stop posting this dynamic electronic/hip-hop/pop duo as they are extremely talented and it’s only a matter of time until they are headlining a nationwide college campus tour. Here’s the two mashups and 2 remixes that Sex Ray Vision put out in the last week.

So I am going back to Brooklyn tomorrow so I won’t be able to post this on Mashup Monday so I will drop this for you guys today. I put some B.o.B., Eminem, and Huey vocals on Skrillex’s crazy remix to Avicii’s “Levels”. Hope you enjoy! Show some love on the DJ Burnout page!

A little while back, Aer released another freestyle, this time over one of the best Avicii songs, “Levels“. “Shot Clock” is Aer‘s banger song which has them solidly rapping over an Avicii song that is a must-download. If you like Avicii and have an interest in hip-hop or at least chill-hop, this song is for you!

It’s Halloween weekend and your options for music in Bloomington,IN (Home of the Indiana Hoosiers) are go to the Bluebird, Jake’s bar, or go see Avicii in the middle of a farm 20 minutes away from B-Town. Many students obviously chose to see the rising star for electronic house music at Bounce Music Festival. Avicii aka Tim Bergling has sky rocketed from No. 39 (2010) to No. 6 (2011) in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJ’s. The Swedish DJ has passed the people he grew up idolizing like Swedish House Mafia guys and Eric Prydz. Avicii started up in 2008 with a single “Lazy Lace” and now his songs “Levels” and “Fade into Darkness” are top 10. The main reason for his growth has been touring around the world. From Europe to America to Asia, Avicii has crossed continents to perform at some major festivals like Ultra Music Festival in Miami and major nightclubs like Space in Ibiza, Spain.

Avicii’s first time in Bloomington was incredible. It was my first time I got to see him and he exceeded my expectations. Artesse (upcoming DJ and UPenn student) opened for Avicii with remixes of “Paradise” by Coldplay and “Wonderwall” by Oasis. Once Artesse was done, Avicii came on stage just as the sun was setting. He opened with “Fade into Darkness”, one of my favorites to get the crowd into it. Once the sun went down, the epic light show began with lasers shooting out across the crowd, strobe lights, and multi-colored lights to synchronize with the music. Avicii played a “Coming Home” remix, which was the first time I heard a remix of the song and it sounded awesome. The only way he could finish the set was with one of his most popular songs, “Levels”. Once the set was over and the crowd left, Avicii ran off stage and took a flight to his next performance that same night at Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ. It seems like with a “work hard” mentality, performing at major venues, and coming out with the hottest electronic house music, Avicii will be a top 5 DJ in the world in no time.

Here’s my two favorite originals from Avicii, “Fade Into Darkness” and “Levels”.

I don’t know much about ISSA except that he’s Akon‘s new artist. A fan sent us this and it’s probably one of the catchiest fan-submitted songs. Here’s “Party Til The Sunshine” which is a radio edit ISSA did on David Guetta & Avicii‘s “Sunshine” in which ISSA added his vocals to power this song into a vocal club banger.

So our Director of Business Development, MikeRips, told us about Dj OnLii1 through a buddy of his that works with the Brooklyn house music DJ. He has mostly banging continuous mixes but lately has been putting out a bunch of bootlegs. Bootlegs are basically a few songs re-mixed into one, almost like a mashup but less fluid and more for raging to.
